Thanks,
Won't this increase positive caster?

Love the thread by the way, very good info.

One thing I've noticed about toe over the years... If you have toe-in, the front end will usually be very touchy and darty as you turn the wheel. If you have toe-out, it usually makes the front end seem lazy.

Reading the concerns over thrust angle, if you did find yourself having issues with it because the frame might be tweaked, you might be able to get some satisfaction out of removing the rivets on the trailing arm mounts, replacing them with bolts, and using washers to shim between the mount and the crossmember on whichever side of the truck is too short. Just a thought....
